Description
Vehicle Management Material controls require to orders 90 percent of all parts against an asset. Currently, Warehouse does not offer asset id visibility in any of the grids.
Recommended
We would like to request Asset ID information to be added to the Maintenance Issue Grid, Warehouse Replenishment Grid, Warehouse Replenishment Approval screen, Due-In Message of the Day screen, and the Material Mgmt Accept/Receive process.
Mission Critical
Not mandated but critical. Air Force Material Control sections need a very detailed process to track, account and issue vehicle parts, equipment and tools against specific Assets to track expenditures and control budgets.
Benefits
Adding Asset Id information to the above grids will enable material control sections to improve order and inventory management by enabling warehouse technicians and managers to have direct access to this critical information. Asset Id information allows managers to approve or disapprove requisitions based on priorities assigned to those assets. Asset Id information is also used to track orders/requisitions and it is used to capture and calculate Non Mission Capable Supply (NMCS) as well as Deferred maintenance.
Users
All Material controllers Air Force wide will benefit form the addition of Asset Id information to the grids above. This will enhance parts tracking and management which in turn will improve inventory management and cut costs related to miss-assigned parts and erroneous orders.
